In addition to the team subsidies, Cal South will pay the total of $32,200 in entry fees for its teams attending these regional events. This amount brings the total amount of donations from Cal South up to $218,700.

"We are proud of the hard work and effort these talented teams have shown in reaching the regional championships," said Cal South President, John Mullen. "On behalf of our Board of Directors and our entire Cal South family, we wish them continued success in their pursuit of a national championship title."

The annual Cal South team subsidies are discretionary in nature and based upon the success and affiliate member support of Cal South's State Cup and National Cup events. Teams that successfully advance from these regional events will earn their spots at either the 2013 US Youth Soccer National Championships in Overland Park, Kansas, the 2013 US Youth Soccer National Presidents Cup in Auburndale, Florida, and the 2013 USASA National Cups Finals in San Antonio, Texas. All
three championship events will be held in July.
